Where Jesus is in the Old Testament? The New Messianic Version (NMV) Bible is the only Bible that shows you.
About the New Messianic Version (NMV) Bible (Large Print Edition) The NMV Bible is more than a Bible. It is a study tool dedicated to teaching the Nature of the Godhead recognized in ancient Judaism, from Genesis – Revelation. In the Old Testament, in particular, great care has been taken to apply the perspective of the Godhead taught in directly by the New Testament writers themselves, in unison with other ancient Bible versions like the Targums, Septuagint (LXX), and others.
Readers should NOT ignore the NMV Bible’s Introduction Section , as lays out how and why this was done. In summary, the theology of the ancient Jewish Targums and the LXX are the theology of the New Testament writers, regarding the God of the Old Testament, who they identify as The Word. In addition to teaching the ancient Hebrew Godhead concept of God, this Bible also restores the names of people and places to their “Hebraic” pronunciation, it also translates the names of people and places in-line with the text, so that it reads much like an “Amplified Bible.”
Please Use of the “Sacred Name” is not to encourage people to speak the Divine Name in a certain way, or an endorsement of pronunciation fads and traditions. Its inclusion is only for highlighting New Testament (and ancient Jewish) understanding of the Godhead, also known as “The Two Powers in Heaven.” This theology is also incorporated into the Masoretic Text as “Masoretic Binitarianism,” as explained in the Introduction.
How is the NMV Bible Different? For more than a decade, The New Messianic Version, has challenged both Jews and Christians to see that the whole Bible is Jewish. It restores the names of people and places to their "Jewish" pronunciation, translates every name of people and places so that it reads much like an "Amplified Bible."
This groundbreaking Bible version answers the one question most Christians and Jewish people alike get wrong, "Who is the God of the Jewish Bible?" Again, Tov, "If you said, 'God the Father' then you got it wrong. It is the Word of God, whom the New Testament clearly shows was born in the flesh (John 1:1-10, 14). This Bible version is the only one that shows it clearly," he continues, "This is why Jesus was correct when he said, 'Very truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am.' In the New Testament, the Gospel of John 6:46 Jesus says, 'No man has seen The Father...' then who have people seen?"
The NMV Bible answers this question the same way as the Apostles like John, Paul and “Who is the God of the Old Testament that performs miracles, and is seen and spoken with by people at least 44 times?”
John calls him “The Word” and 40+ other names Paul identifies him, as the “Messiah” who was also "the Rock" of the Exodus Jude calls Him, “Yeshua”
The NMV Bible shows which Old Testament Names of God are Father God, and that most of the Names of God represent The Word of God/Messiah Pre-Incarnate. In short, this Bible version restores the ancient and 1st Century Jewish flavor and understanding of the first-generation followers of Messiah!
